Florida Lawmakers: Escambia County Delegation Sets November 12 Public Forum

Florida state lawmakers representing Escambia County will convene for their annual public hearing on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

The session is set from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Beach Church, 920 Panferio Drive in Pensacola Beach. This gathering allows residents, business owners, and local officials to direct specific concerns to the delegation before the 2027 Florida Legislative Session begins. The group consists of State Senator Don Gaetz, State Representative Alex Andrade, and State Representative Michelle Salzman.

Residents who plan to speak must submit a Speaker Request Form by Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Forms are due to Lea Funchess via email. This deadline ensures the panel can manage the schedule for public comments effectively.

The meeting serves as a direct channel for local priorities to reach Tallahassee. It covers issues ranging from regional infrastructure to state policy impacts on the Panhandle. The delegation uses this forum to identify key topics for the upcoming legislative year.

For those needing a form or further details, Senator Gaetz’s district office handles inquiries. The phone number is (850) 595-1036, and the email address is available through his office. Last year, this same group held its session at the Molino Community Center.
